CLARIFY(1) General Commands Manual CLARIFY(1) NAME edgepaint - edge coloring to disambiguate crossing edges SYNOPSIS [ options ] [ -o outfile ] [ files ] DESCRIPTION edgepaint takes as input a graph in DOT format with node position information (the pos attribute) and colors the edges in a manner making it easier to tell them apart. OPTIONS The following options are supported: --accuracy=e Accuracy with which to find the maximally different coloring for each node with regard to its neighbors. Default e = 0.01. --angle=a Color two edges differently if their incidence angle is less than a degrees. Default a = 15. --random_seed=s Random seed to use. s must be an integer. If s is negative, we do |s| iterations with different seeds and pick the best. --lightness=l1,l2 Only applies for the "lab" color scheme: l1 and l2 must integers, with 0 <= l1 <= l2 <=100. By default, we use "0,70". --share_endpoint If this option is specified, edges that share a node are not considered in conflict if they are close to parallel but are on the opposite sides of the node (around 180 degree). -o f Write output to file f (default: stdout). --color_scheme=c Specifies the color scheme. This can be "rgb", "gray", "lab" (default); or a comma-separated list of RGB colors in hex (e.g., "#ff0000,#aabbed,#eeffaa") representing a palette; or a string specifying a Brewer color scheme (e.g., "accent7"; see https://graphviz.org/doc/info/colors.html#brewer). -v Turns on verbose mode. -? Print usage and exit. BUGS At present, edgepaint does not handle graphs with loops or directed multiedges. So, a graph with edges a -> b and b -> a is acceptable, but not if it has edges a -> b and a -> b or a -- b and a -- b. Ports are ignored in this analysis, so having a.x -> b and a.y -> b is also not supported. AUTHOR Yifan Hu SEE ALSO gvmap(1), sfdp(1), neato (1), dot(1) 26 February 2014 CLARIFY(1)
